Wood Heating Pellet Heating Combined Heating Heating Boiler Maintenance

In a heating boiler, combustion of fuel generates heat which, using a liquid – primarily water – is transferred from the boiler to the room. Circulation of the heated liquid to radiators is usually provided by forced circulation using a circulation pump, or by gravity natural-flow circulation. Heating boilers will create warmth in your home and provide pleasant comfort. Using a heating boiler you will be able to not only heat radiators and underfloor heating, but also prepare hot water in a hot water tank.

Commodus represents the world's leading heating boiler manufacturers, working together on the development of new products and the improvement of existing ones. In our product range you will find the highest quality heating boilers with the latest technological achievements. We will help you choose the most suitable heating boiler for your wishes and possibilities, and will provide advice on the planning and construction of your heating system.

Wood Heating

Wood Heating

Wood boilers are the most traditional and economical form of heating. They are sometimes referred to as solid fuel boilers, as they are designed for firing with wood, coal or briquettes.

Heating boilers can be manufactured from steel or cast iron. A steel heating boiler has a long flue gas path where heat from the combustion process is transferred to the heating system, thereby providing a high efficiency coefficient and saving fuel. Cast iron heating boilers will have a service life many times longer than steel heating boilers, but in steel boilers the fuel burns with higher efficiency. A steel wood boiler will be easier to clean, thanks to its straight boiler walls.

An important factor when choosing a wood boiler is also its construction – how large the boiler capacity is, what the permissible log length is, how the heat exchangers are arranged, etc. The efficiency of the heating boiler will depend on these parameters. For practically any wood heating boiler, it is possible to install a pellet burner in the future, thereby obtaining a practically automated form of heating (combined heating boiler).

Combined Heating

Combined Heating

Combined heating boilers are designed for firing with firewood, wood chip briquettes and coal, or in automatic mode using 6–8 mm wood chip pellets. Depending on the boiler model, when firing in manual mode the burner will need to be dismantled, or it may be possible to leave it connected to the boiler. Heating boilers can be made from steel or cast iron (see explanation under solid fuel heating boilers). If you have additionally purchased replacement boiler doors on which a pellet burner is installed, when firing in manual mode it will be possible to dismantle the burner together with the door and install the replacement boiler door.

By installing a pellet burner, you will be able to give up constant firing and boiler monitoring – simply set the heating water or room temperature, and the pellet burner will take care of the rest.
